Stable or Unstable Angina
Reasons for chest tubes
Ventilation
Cardiac Rhythms
Hemodynamics
100
Signs and symptoms of chest pain/pressure usually begin with activity and subside with rest.
What is stable angina
100
The two specific areas of the body where a chest tube is used to drain air, blood, or other fluids.
What are the pleural space and the pericardial space?
100
Priority action when ventilator warning alarms are flashing.
What is assess your client?
100
Site of this type of heart block is at the level of the AV node. Progressive prolongation of the PR interval occurs. eventually a QRS complex will be dropped. Ratio is usually 3:2, 4:3, or 5:4.
What is Mobitz I (Wenckebach)?
100
The amount of blood pumped by the ventricle in liters per minute.
What is cardiac output?
200
Also known as "acute coronary syndrome." Often occurs even at rest, often at night or early morning.
What is unstable angina?
200
Medical term for a collapsed lung.
What is a pneumothorax?
200
This process includes providing a wake/sleep cycle with lights on during the day and off at night, ambulating the patient, encouraging family involvement and providing assist devices the patient needs such as glasses or hearing aids.
What is the delirium bundle?
200
What is atrial fibrillation?
200
The measure of the blood pressure in the right atrium and reflects the amount of blood returning to the heart and the ability of the heart to pump blood efficiently.
What is central venous pressure?
300
Predictable chest pain/pressure that often occurs at the same level of exertion or stress.
What is Stable Angina?
300
Medical term for blood that has accumulated into the pleural space due to trauma, surgery, or other causes.
What is a hemothorax?
300
This mode of ventilation allows for a preset number of breaths and allows the client to initiate spontaneous breaths in-between the mandatory ones.
What is Synchronous Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) mode?
300
Characteristics of this rhythm include the following: regular rhythm, heart rate will usually be grater than 150 bpm, no P waves, no PR interval, wide QRS. It is a shockable rhythm.
What is ventricular tachycardia?
300
Name two types of IV access that should NOT be used for infusions.
What are arterial lines and temporary dialysis catheters?
400
Unpredictable and can occur without any apparent cause.
What is unstable angina?
400
Medical term that refers to fluid accumulated around the heart which can be caused by infections, cancer, heart failure, or other conditions can cause.
What is pleural effusion?
400
Volume of air inhaled and exhaled during normal breathing.
What is tidal volume?
400
Characteristics of this rhythm include a regular rhythm, fast heart rate, P waved usually merged with the T wave, PR will be normal if measurable, QRS complex usually normal. Cardioversion may be necessary, vagal maneuvers may help slow down the heart rate, some medications may be used such as beta blockers.
What is supraventricular tachycardia?
400
A person has a blood pressure of 120/80 their MAP would be.
What is 93.3 mmHg
MAP = (2 x 80 + 120) / 3 = 93.3
500
Usually caused by narrowed or blocked coronary arteries, which reduce blood flow to the heart muscle.
What is stable and unstable angina.
500
Medical term for a collection of purulent material from an infection like pneumonia.
What is empyema?
500
The step that includes administering a sedative and a paralytic during a rapid sequence intubation (RSI)
1. Preoxygenation 2. Induction
3. Intubation 4. Confirmation
5. Post-intubation management
What is step 2 (induction)?
500
Characteristics of this type of hear block include a regular rhythm, a prolonged PR interval, Normal QRS. Slowed but not blocked conduction through the AV node.
What is a first degree heart block?
500
Refers to the percentage of oxygen that is bound to hemoglobin in the venous blood returning to the heart. It reflects the balance between oxygen delivery to the tissues and oxygen consumption by the tissues.
What is SVO2 or mixed venous oxygen saturation?
